One of the greatest West Coast punk albums ever recorded, 'FFfRV' is a visceral listening experience. This special ediition also includes the DVD 'Fresh Fruit for Rotting Eyeballs'!
"The Dead Kennedys were one of the most influential bands on the American punk-rock scene of the late '70s and early to mid '80s. Jello Biafra's ability to articulate all that he saw wrong in the United States of the time made him one of the genres most intelligent lyricists; with songs that managed to attack American mainstream culture's self-obsessive shallowness, whilst still being catchy enough to shout along to. And, the band never sounded more driven than on this stunning debut from 1980… Tracks like 'Let's Lynch the Landlord', 'California Uber Alles', and especially 'Holiday in Cambodia' are timeless creations of hard-hitting perfection!
One of the greatest West Coast punk albums ever recorded, 'Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables' is a visceral listening experience that is as essential as other earlier classics that defined the original genus - such as Patti Smith's 'Horses', the first 3 or 4 albums by the Ramones, The Sex Pistols' 'Never Mind the Bollocks…' plus Iggy's original solo effort, 'Lust for Life'."
